Dead For A Dollar

"A master class in B-movie craft."

"It’s suspenseful, jarring, and never descends to formal cheating of narrative cheapness ..."

"Dead for a Dollar doesn’t have a dramatic core."

"Entertaining..."

"can still write crackling dialogue, and he can still stage a shootout as well as anyone ever has."

"Overplotted, yet somehow still a hangout movie, Walter Hill's new Western is elevated by its moral dilemmas."

"A revisionist Western featuring a sterling performance from Christoph Waltz."

"Rarely has so little tension been generated by a hero with so many bad guys lining up to kill him."

"A meandering shoot 'em up..."

"it’s not so much a bullet ballet as a creaky dance across an abandoned saloon."

"Hill turns... shortcomings into virtues. The picture’s surface austerity and simplicity have a crystallizing effect..."

"A refreshing change of pace seeing three excellent actors in an uncommon genre. When it comes to its originality, though, we’re left watching the tumbleweeds float on by."

"To say that this cast is squandered would be an under-statement."

"There's nothing worse than a movie that doesn't have anything to say."
